ABOUT THE BOOK
Our casebook complements our textbook and charts an educational course through the key practical issues in the New Economy business landscape. Case studies - long used in clinical psychology, medical, and business school programs - are designed to facilitate a dialogue, or more appropriately, a healthy debate on the alternative solutions to a particular problem. Today, there are precious few case studies that illustrate "what works" in the New Economy, and in our casebook we have assembled a unique and comprehensive selection that is directly relevant to the New Economy.

About The Authors:

Jeffrey F. Rayport, founder of the Monitor Marketspace Center, is regarded as one of the most influential thinkers in the field of e-commerce. He launched the first e-commerce strategy course at Harvard Business School nearly six years ago, and to date has written nearly 100 case studies on e-commerce. His second year elective course on this subject consistently enrolled nearly half of the Harvard Business School class of 800 students. For three years running, he was voted "best professor" at Harvard Business School by the student body - the first Harvard Business School professor to receive this award three years in a row.

Dr. Rayport's research has focused on the impact of information technologies on service management and marketing strategies for business, and has involved a wide array of high-tech and service firms, industry associations and professional practices. In addition to his HBS case studies, he has written numerous articles on new-economy topics that have appeared in industry and popular business publications.
